Oracle 11g Database as RPM's

This question probably gets asked all the time, but we're relatively new to Oracle.
Is Oracle 11g available as RPM's? If not, what about a command line installation script that DOES NOT require human interaction? At the very very least, can the requirement to have X11 installed and run the graphic installer be removed? I mean, come on... a graphic installer??? I thought Oracle was the 2nd largest software company in the world, and runs on mission critical enterprise systems, and you have to have X11 installed and use a graphic installer? I must really be missing something here.
At the end of the day, we want to use puppet (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet) to manage our oracle servers with. This means either having oracle available as an RPM, or a headless install script.
X11... that's comical. Oracle is designed for production systems .... right?
Doug

Hi user2136738,
Oracle is only providing rpm's for its free edition which is known as Oracle 10g Express Edition. Beside X11 installation method Oracle offers also the possibility to install the software using a response file. Basically you record it the first time you install the software using X11 and then you can run it from your terminal session. Since I was having similar requirements in the past I created a collection of tools to master Oracle deployments. One key component is the usage of rpm's in order to reproduce installations. Check:
http://www.oratoolkit.ch/knowledge/howto/installation/otn.php
which will show you nearlly every possible installation configuration.
Good luck!

  • What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

    I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
    My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
    So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
    Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
    I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
    So I want to ask these 2 questions :
    1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
    2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
    Thanks alot.

    I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
    As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

  • What are the privileges required for explain plan in Oracle 11g database

    I am facing the problem in doing a explain plan for a view in Oracle 11g database. When I select from the view like this:
    select * from zonewisearpu
    It does a select on the view but when I give explain plan like
    explain plan for
    select * from zonewisearpu
    I get the error like insufficient privileges.
    Please let me know if things are getting missed out as I guess system level privileges are required to execute this.
    I hope, my question is clear.
    It’s a humble request to revert urgently if possible as I need to complete a task and do not know the way out.
    Regards

    975148 wrote:
    Thanks for your reply. I have found out that an explain plan is possible on the user's own objects and is not possible on the granted objects from a different schema. For eg, if I do a explain plan on a view querying on tables from a different view, it would not allow the explain plan to proceed. This could mean that explain plan needs different privileges than just a select.
    Requesting for a revert to this.
    Here is a simple test case that I have perfomed

    Hi Experts
    How to monitor the Oracle 11g database sessions on Windows 2008 server (other than SQL Developer tool), which procedure or query is taking more time with Java application.

    Recently i found this tool- myorasql on the net to monitor the performence of database, easy to setup and check the performence.  i never tested it but seems impresive.  It is free and i think it would be use ful to you.

    You can also use Quest - Toad or sqlplus if you are very good at sql commands and all dictionary tables or OEM/EM grid if it is configured .

  • Oracle 11g Database Configuration Assistant Hangs At 45% During 1st Install

    Platform: Windows Vista 64 Bit Version
    Downloaded: Oracle 11g Database 64 Bit
    Service Pack 1
    Greetings to all my Oracle Seniors. I have been attempting in vain to install the Oracle 11g database software package fully. I was able to complete the initial installation and made it to the second recommended action which was the Database Configuration Assistant operation. After 3 attempts, the progress bar stalled at 45%. I tried to look at the log file cfgtoologs (cloneDBCreation, and CloneRmanRestore), but it said that I didn't have permission. My pre-check cleared OK on everything. So, please direct me as to how to correct this issue.
    Thanks
    Preston

    Well, that is not much of an option right now. I discovered that I have to reinstall the XP Pro OS after attempting the 11g installation 4 times and the install always stalled at 69% during the initial installation. I did have Windows Service Pack 3 installed on the system. I down graded and added 1 G of additional memory and checked the pre-check with no problem. But, the install continued to stall at 69%. So, and, yet, here we are.
    Now in regards to the metalink notes, I am new to the forum, so I don't know my way around quite yet. Isn't the metalink the paid suppport option? If so, I don't have that access.

    Telling us that you are using 11.1 helps. But it is far from a complete description of the environment. What edition of the database are you using? What options are installed? What Enterprise Manager packs are licensed? Is any of this changable? Could you license another option for the database or another pack for Enterprise Manager if that was necessary?
    What does it mean to you to "mask data"? Do you want to store the data on disk and then mask the data in the presentation layer when certain people query it (i.e. store the patient's social security number in the database but only present ***-**- and the last 4 digits to certain sets of employees)? Do you want to hide entire fields from certain people? Do you want to change the data stored in the database when you are refreshing a lower environment with production data? If so, do you need and/or want this process to be either determinisitic or reversable or both?

  • Is it possible to perform network data encryption between Oracle 11g databases without the advance security option?

    Is it possible to perform network data encryption between Oracle 11g databases without the advance security option?
    We are not licensed for the Oracle Advanced Security Option and I have been tasked to use Oracle Network Data Encryption in order to encryption network traffic between Oracle instances that reside on remote servers. From what I have read and my prior understanding this is not possible without ASO. Can someone confirm or disprove my research, thanks.

    Hi, Srini Chavali-Oracle
    As for http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/advanced-security/advanced-security-ds-12c-1898873.pdf?ssSourceSiteId… ASO is mentioned as TDE and Redacting Sensitive Data to Display. Network encryption is excluded.
    As for Network Encryption - Oracle FAQ (of course this is not Oracle official) "Since June 2013, Net Encryption is now licensed with Oracle Enterprise Edition and doesn't require Oracle Advanced Security Option." Could you clarify this? Thanks.

  • Oracle 11g database installation

    Hello,
    I just want to install the oracle 11g database system in my Archlinux. I've looked the wiki but it's a little bit old.

    Another question is how mush size it will be when installed?
    Thanks!

  • Failover not working while connecting to Oracle 11g database

    Hi,
    We have a J2EE application that connects to Oracle 11g database.
    The connection URL we are using is as below
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(SDU=32768)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=abc.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= xyz.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PQR)))
    The issue that we are facing is, the database failover is not working.The application only connects to the first host in the TNS entry.Evertime there is a failure in the connection to the first host,manual steps are required to swap the hosts.
    This started happening after we upgraded Oracle DB from 9i to 11g.
    We are using the client jar of 9i to connect to 11g. Could this be causing the problem?
    Thanks In Advance.

    Yes, you are right. Nothing else was updated.
    The application still works as expected except the failover.If you are correct then I seriously doubt it has anything to do with java. It would be something to do with Oracle and/or network infrastructure.
    If not then it is some small problem with the driver. You can try updating the driver but I wouldn't expect a fix.
